Getting to grips with the Bandai HG 1/144 Hugo

The Bandai HG 1/144 Hugo is a compact and well-engineered kit from Iron-Blooded Orphans that suits both newcomers and seasoned builders. Its distinctive profile and articulation make it enjoyable to pose and finish.

Precise molding and clean colour separation
